try to update attached patch to replace the area setting in play store(don't unzip, change the file name to update.img).
you have to clear all play store data before updating this patch:
go to setting->apps->all->find google play store and google services framework->clear user data, then, force stop them, after finished, update the patch as firmware upgrading steps.

Thanks gboijhpok, removing the mobile network code fixed the issue.

Root Checker from the Market says it is, but you also need superuser.apk and busybox.apk installed (both from the market) for it to perform correctly.

But why do we need busybox ? I thought its preloaded under /system/bin (or similar path).
I also noted that though I have superuser installed, no app so far asked for SU permissions (used Titanium backup without a problem).

Also noted that system is mount as R/W by default (not sure if thats also related).

You are correct in that su and busybox are loaded into system/xbin, however these are binaries and not apps.

I have had problems with another rooted devices because of no superuser.apk being loaded. I am not sure what the function of busybox.apk will be, but my other device keeps asking for it as well.
 
I'm using the newest ICS fw- 29/5 .. when i watch a video , it seems to be zoom in a little .. not fullscreen ! Is it normal :-? ??????

Hi people...

Any one knows if the firmwares for geniatech are compatible with the FV-3 device?

The FV-3 seems to be very similar to ATV1000, but looks like there is no official updates available for that device like geniatech does.

I'm intrested in the ATV1000, but is more expensive than the FV-3 and looks like asia pads is having problems with geniatech.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards.

I just know FV-1 is the same as Geniatech's ATV1000.
 
Hi everyone. First post here so here it goes.

I have just taken delivery of an atv3000 :) plugged a 2tb WD green caviar hdd into it and plugged it into my old onkyo amp which goes to my old crt tv using the rca plugs, (yellow red and white ones). And well nothing, couldn't get any picture up on screen :(

I then tried using the digital connection, orange coaxial and optical output. and again nothing.

Do I need to change the output settings from the atv3000?

So next I tried to connect using my laptop, (windows 7), first via blueetooth, then via the USB. Sadly both methods again failed.

Can anyone walk me through this connection problem please?

PS there are a few changes to the 3000 from the pictures on the box/geniatech website.
- it's black not white, cosmetic I know
- to plug in the hdd in you open the top of the box
- there is an adapter to make installing 2.5" hdd's easier
- there is only one button now, ands its on the front

I think you might have to first plug it into a HDMI TV then set the resolution to 480i and after that it might display on screen via composite (yellow video cable).
 
Hi Guys,

As per Geniatech Sales, ATV1200 should be available early July and ATV1600 is still under development.

I just hope they can make a universal firmware for all Geniatech boxes with 512 or more RAM
 
thanks next121.

To change the display from hdmi to rca you have to connect to a monitor using the hdmi port and the rca port. From display settings => output mode choose either 480cvbs or 575cvbs. once you select eith of these you have 20 seconds to switch over the the rca input and select ok. If you don't do this within 20 seconds it reverts back to the previous setting. Took me about 5 tries ;)

Well it's just Android so it can on any of these boxes but the problem is how well it runs and unless Google optimize the Android 4.x OS better for 512MB were unlikely to see any major performance improvements unless Amlogic/Geniatech have an ace up their sleeve like porting CyanogenMod.

The Amlogic 8726-M1 is limited to 512MB RAM.
The 8726-M3 supports up to 1GB RAM.
The 8726-MX (dual core variant of M3) supports up to 2GB RAM.

So were probably going to see boxes with 1GB of RAM running Android 4 and it will be left at that.
 
stasik, for that price, you can use them both! ;-)

imho, PI is for testing, for enthusiasts and not builded for some "serious" usage. of course, it can be usable, but box is more friendly.
 
userfriendly for price...) playing 1080p is serious usage/task (+programming/compiling), and u get a linux desktop, not android running with apps. i am not saying its better, its different, and when my box get bricked, i ll get the Pi, and i ll use the remote from the box)))
bottom line, i am glad there is an alternative for kids in poor countries who can not afford a desktop.
as for fw update_20120529_M1_4.0.zip, its working fine for me. video and audio synced, network icon working ok, surprisingly even the power button works (the box do not prompt for sleep/power off but just shuts down). the only thing to fix yet is the controls in the media player, which are zoomed and go outside the screen a bit. so far so good
 
Hi,

I have purchased a ATV-1000 , currently running on android 2.3.4, However i have been quite dissapointed with the box so i presume i am missing something ?

Is there any CFW availible as i would like the box to be more like a network media server but still have the option to browse the internet install apps etc ?

Sky Go app and BBC IPlayer app dosent work and i am curious as to why ?

Basically i want a ice looking welcome screen with icons connecting me to my network to share all media , whilst you can view movies with es file explorer you cannot share music ?

Can you guys answer any of the above ?

Thanks

Have you installed the patch to solve?

Otherwise send me the instructions?
thanks

There is no need to install the patch if you don't want your build.prop file replaced (assuming you have done your own customizations and edits on it).

Just edit build.prop in whatever way you like (manually or use one of many apps on the market).

And remove the following entries ...

Code: 
gsm.operator.numeric
gsm.sim.operator.numeric

Clear you cache and reboot.

Best of luck,
 
Just thought I would give a big thumbs up to the support at Geniatech. After lots of emails I have been able to sort out most of my problems. Except one. Becasue I am using my old crt TV that doesn't support 720 or 1080 I won't be able to watch TV through it. I can record it and watch it at a later date because the playback does get downsized to a format my old tv can handle. Bugger, this means the ATV is not what I was wanting.

So does anyone in Australia want to buy a pretty much brand new ATV3000 with a MyGica T119 usb tv dongle?
